Analysis of participatory research projects in the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center
International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)
Abstract
Through a survey of scientists from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in 2004, this study assessed the extent to which participatory methods had been used by the center, how they were perceived by the scientists, and how participatory research could be applied more effectively by CIMMYT and partners. Results for 19 CIMMYT projects suggest…

Climate smart agriculture, farm household typologies and food security
International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)
Abstract
One of the great challenges in agricultural development and sustainable intensification is the assurance of social equity in food security oriented interventions. Development practitioners, researchers, and policy makers alike could benefit from prior insight into what interventions or environmental shocks might differentially affect farmers' food security status, in order to move towards more…

Identifying determinants, pressures and trade-offs of crop residue use in mixed smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)
Abstract
Crop residues (CR) have become a limited resource in mixed crop-livestock farms. As a result of the increasing demand and low availability of alternative resources, CR became an essential resource for household activities, especially for livestock keeping; a major livelihood element of smallholder farmers in the developing world.…

The response of soil respiration to climatic drivers in undrained forest and drained oil palm plantations in an Indonesian peatland
Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)
Abstract
To accurately quantify tropical peatlandsÂ’ contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions, and to understand how emissions from peat may change in the future, long-term measurements over seasons and years are needed. Sampling soil respiration over a range of temperature and moisture conditions in the field is valuable for understanding how peat…

Rehabilitation of Degraded Lands in Semiarid and Subhumid Ecologies in India
Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)
Abstract
Land degradation is a complex phenomenon caused by natural and anthropogenic factors. These factors create and accelerate soil erosion and contribute to the loss of biodiversity and degradation of soil quality and hydrological features. Adoption of a gamut of appropriate soil and water conservation measures, protection of vegetation from overgrazing, assisted regeneration of vegetation, etc. maybe…

Crop residue disappearance and macrofauna activity in sub-humid western Kenya
Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)
Abstract
Rapid disappearance of crop residue used as soil surface cover in conservation tillage systems reduces the envisaged soil cover benefits. This study was conducted in a conservation tillage experiment, established in 2003 in Nyabeda, western Kenya, to (1) characterize crop residue disappearance during crop growth, and (2) assess termite activity and characteristics of soil (carbon concentration and…

Agriculture in a changing climate: Keeping our cool in the face of the hothouse
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/98537
Abstract
The challenges facing agriculture in the coming decades are daunting. Recent research suggests that the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food systems may be wider-ranging than previously understood. Can feasible pathways to a food secure and sustainable future be identified? The scale of change required to meet the sustainable…

Can changes in soil properties in organic banana production suppress fusarium wilt?
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/67153
Abstract
Organic agriculture promotes disease suppression through healthy soils by increasing biological activity and diversity through the application of organic fertilizers and increasing organic inputs. Fusarium wilt of bananas (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense) (Foc), also known as Panama disease, has been a devastating disease throughout…
